This would be a good time to re-explore the question of the code that is, or was, supposed to protect individual event poems. In theory, the "noindex" code, placed at the very top of each contest poem's thread, was supposed to protect the poem from the bots. The tricky part was that the contest host--not always a person deeply adept at the techy parts of this board--HAD TO REMEMBER to put that code in at the start. Inserting it later sometimes meant the bots got there first.
Alex, is any of this still correct?
Editing back: Here's a link to an older, relevant thread with info about the code:
